Neil Lennon has made six changes to the Celtic side that drew 0-0 with Livingston on Saturday for tonight’s re-match at the Toni Macaroni.

Vasilis Barkas, Kris Ajer, Greg Taylor, Rya Christie, Moi Elyounoussi and Leigh Griffiths come in to bolster the shadow squad that played at the weekend. Conor Hazard and Anthony Ralston, who started on Saturday fail to make the bench which includes club captain Scott Brown.

With the bulk of the 13 players forced into self-isolation returning to training on Monday Lennon has had a couple of days to look for improvement on Saturday’s 0-0 draw.

Last season Celtic lost 2-0 at Livingston in September then required a late equaliser from Tom Rogic to grab a point in what turned out to be the second last match on the season in March.

Before their draw on Saturday Livi had won eight games on the bounce to take them into the semi-final of the Betfred Cup with St Mirren waiting for them at Hampden on Sunday.

CELTIC: Barkas; Ajer, Bitton, Duffy, Taylor; Christie, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull; Elyounoussi, Griffiths

SUBS: Bain, Brown, Ajeti, Klimala, Rogic, Johnston, Frimpong, Welsh, Laxalt
